omigod! jesus h. christ! I think I might have found religion!!!!!
I realized that every night before I go to bed I say: Dear god would you please keep Sarah Palin and Michael Jackson off the news...I really can't take it anymore.
And...dum dum de dum, dum dum de dum.
Doc and Dejay are officially married and it was a beautiful wedding. I got to meet relatives of the grooms I'd never met and enjoyed everything about the wedding.
I especially loved the flowing champagne ;-)
The reverend Sara did a find job of marrying these two long-time-together men and making them into husbands. I had fun making the favors and doing the floral arrangements too. Most of all it was so nice to see two people I love very much just become normal everyday folks who live and love in the state of Ct without prejudice and with equality. Bravo Connecticut!!!

I don't have cable. I only use the tv to watch DVDs, so I cut my news consumption a lot. What surprises me is that there is no news that the stimulus has basically failed.
As for God, He exists or He doesn't. I favor same sex marriage,but I think the minimum marriage age should be 25. The thought of getting married scares me at times.
You have to watch Fox news for that...actually who says it hasn't worked? My 401K has been resuscitated so I'm pretty happy right now.
Do you know that if women married at 25 their fertility would have already dropped off quite a bit?
Women's bodies are still on the old-fashioned before the word "teenage" was invented schedule-- get your period, wait a year or two, have the first baby.
Today everyone wants it all...babies at 50 etc. People are living way too long. MHO
Your 401K has been resuscitated, but unemployment is still growing and there is talk of a second stimulus (a third really), though I am concerned about where the money comes from. I don't watch any news on tv, though Fox and MSNBC balance each other out. I also have a natural aversion to Keynesianism.

Well, the world is overpopulated, but getting third worlders to stop having kids before their 18th birthday is easier said than done.
I'd agree that people are living too long. If I make it to 75, I'll be content, and on some days I don't want to see 40.
Hey, that was a lot of fun wasn't it? I enjoyed and am so proud of our friends! xoxox
Me too LB -- let's do it again sometime!!
Keynesianism? I'm there but of course I have a natural aversion to Milton Friedman and the Chicago boys. Have you read the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein?
Very interesting facts in that book.
Somehow I was addressing Thomas by his name but what I typed disappeared into the ether probably with my other pink fuzzy sock I've been looking for.
I am suspicious of Naomi Klein as a fellow traveler of Noam Chomsky. This does explain where some of your views come from, and I should probably read the book but that crowd puts me on edge.
As for Freidman, I heard positive things about him and the Chicago boys from Economics class, though not everyone benefits from free market policies, though Klein strikes me as a syndicalist willing to back anything indigenous. I also see her as likely to curse at me if she saw me in my uniform.
Klein's overly bright..writes like an angel and seems to be well educated on her topic...I've only read Shock Doctrine but No Logo sits waiting for me when I'm in the mood. Next I read Twilight to see what the hoopla's about. Oh and if you don't want to read all of Shock Doctrine...just the part about South America and the Chicago boys will do.
I figured that it was related to Pinochet, but I also tend to like monetarist theory, though I have a real love of Austrian theory and anarcho-capitalism is fun to flirt with.
I guess it is a different perspective as I have an Economics degree and my Libertarian views largely due to Econ class.
I could check on her stuff and try to see where she is coming from, plus I was surprised to hear negatives on Chile's pension reforms as I had a different perspective in Econ class.
